Whats the difference VGA and CIF

Question

hi can anyone tell me what VGA and CIF mean what are the differences and which is better?

Answer 1

The term VGA [Video Graphics Array]is often used to refer to a resolution of 640×480, regardless of the hardware that produces the picture. It may also refer to the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector which is still widely used to carry analog video signals of all resolutions.
The VGA specifications are as follows:
256 KiB Video RAM
16-color and 256-color modes
262144-value color palette (six bits each for red, green, and blue)
Selectable 25 MHz or 28 MHz master clock
Maximum of 720 horizontal pixels
Maximum of 480 lines
Refresh rates at up to 70 Hz
Planar mode: up to 16 colors (4 bit planes)
Packed-pixel mode: 256 colors (Mode 13h)
Hardware smooth scrolling support
Some "Raster Ops" support
Barrel shifter
Split screen support
Soft fonts
The VGA supports both All Points Addressable graphics modes, and alphanumeric text modes. Standard graphics modes are
640×480 in 16 colors
640×350 in 16 colors
320×200 in 16 colors
320×200 in 256 colors (Mode 13h)
As well as the standard modes, VGA can be configured to emulate many of the modes of its predecessors (EGA, CGA, and MDA).
VGA is better.
The Quarter Video Graphics Array (also known as Quarter VGA or QVGA) is a popular term for a computer display with 320 × 240 resolution. QVGA displays are most often seen in mobile phones, PDAs and some handheld game consoles. Most often the displays are in a “portrait” alignment (as opposed to “landscape”) and are referred to as 240 × 320 as the displays are taller than they are wide.
The name is derived from the fact that it offers 1/4 of the 640 × 480 maximum resolution of the original IBM VGA display technology, which became a de facto industry standard in the late 1980s.
At higher resolutions the "Q" prefix sometimes means "Quad" or four times the display resolution (e.g. QXGA which is 2048 × 1536).
